DNS: Set the appropriate record names

Open ngryman opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi,

The current DNS configuration could be misleading for users.

If a user copy/paste the current configuration to their registrar, it won't work for the following reasons:

  • A and AAAA records that point to the root domain need to be @, not the domain itself.
  • CNAME records should not include the root domain.

Below is an example illustrating the current configuration for example.com:

The correct version should be:

Agree. I am a frontend engineer, not familiar with DNS rule, I do as the provided records, validations failed. Nice suggestion. Thanks bro.

This would be a good change to see because I personally just had this issue and I was only able to fix it after finding this issue.

I was struggling with domain validation for few hours. Then found this issue and it helped to fix. Thanks a lot. Must be the default instructions on the dashboard.

We've updated the instructions. They should be live in a few hours.
